Certified as an expert in workers' compensation by the Pennsylvania Bar Association, Eric S. Borjeson understands the intricate nuances of Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation law. He has focused his practice on workers’ compensation law for more than 30 years, giving his injured clients the advantage of deep knowledge of the state system and its decision makers.
Eric understands the motivations and strategies employed by Pennsylvania employers and their insurance companies, after having begun his career on the employer side of the system. He soon shifted to the claimants’ side of the process, and this experience on both sides of workers' compensation matters has equipped him to anticipate opposing counsel’s tactics. He tackles each matter with tenacity and insider intuition.
Eric deftly guides clients through the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation System and has successfully litigated cases before the PWC Appeal Board and the Commonwealth Court. He represents injured workers from a variety of occupations, including healthcare workers, teachers, construction workers, police officers, and firemen. He has assisted clients with a wide variety of injuries, including physical and mental conditions and catastrophic injuries such as brain damage, amputations, complex regional pain syndrome, and paralysis.
Some of Eric’s career highlights include representing a claimant who was threatened at work because of his sexual orientation; representing a police officer who was being severely harassed by fellow officers; and representing claimants with post-traumatic stress disorder and other difficult-to-diagnose traumas. He received his J.D. from Villanova University School of Law and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Gettysburg College. He lives in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.
WHAT INSPIRES ME ABOUT MY WORK
"I have spent nearly my entire career championing injured workers. I thrive on resolving my clients' problems and getting them the compensation they have rightfully earned—not a handout. Whether I am walking clients through the compensation process, explaining how benefits work, or battling insurance counsel, my mission is to make sure my clients understand their choices and feel heard at every step.”
AWAY FROM WORK
